Etymology
Dovedi entered Romanian from Old Slavic during the long period of Slavic linguistic contact in the medieval Balkans. It is built on the same Slavic root as vesti, to lead, with the prefix do-, meaning up to or arriving at. The original sense was to lead someone up to a result, and in Romanian this narrowed to the specific meaning of proving something true.
